What a way to start our final Dreams Tulum day. It was a spectacular sunrise. I’ll bore you with several pictures. Every minute the sunrise was increasingly wonderful.
Beautiful start to the day Rosy-fingered dawn It kept getting better Just stunning So beautiful
Sunrise is at about 6:40 a.m. here and it was amazing how many women were up with cameras at the ready to take in the gorgeous sunrise. I thought the one we saw earlier in the week was amazing, but today’s was just spectacular. I guess after all that lightening last night Mother Nature didn’t want the night sky to hold anything over the morning sky.
Today is another lovely day at the resort. We’ve had great weather, albeit very, very hot and humid. I don’t do too well in the heat so I’ve been a bit uncomfortable. And now my cold is in full force. But the great news is that my COVID test was negative. What a great relief that is! So, I’m just sick, but not with COVID. I will need to take extra precautions so I don’t give anyone my cold.
Walking around the resort today we saw some workers cutting down huge bunches of coconuts. Boy did they fall hard! I was surprised they didn’t have the work area roped off. The palm was very close to the main walkway. I was concerned about the guys on the ground watching the worker up in the tree. A woman walking by asked a worker to please cut the top off a coconut so she could enjoy the milk He gladly did that and off she went with a very large coconut.

I walked around and took a few more photos. This really is a very lovely resort.

We spent a couple of hours at the quiet pool this afternoon. It’s fun to move around in the water and eavesdrop on people’s conversations. Christine tries to lap swim, but finds that too many people get in her way. She doesn’t do any backstroke or else she’d crash into people, so she just sticks with breaststroke and crawl. We both read a little and then headed back to the room to start packing.

Olivia works with the resort on logistics. As you might imagine, getting 750 women COVID tested, checked out, and in shuttle buses to the airport at the appropriate time is no small feat. They created a big list of everyone’s flight information and organized shuttle buses in batches that are 4 hours before one’s flight. Our flight out of Cancun is at 11:20 a.m. so we’re on the 7:00 a.m. shuttle. They’ll pick up our luggage from our room 90 minutes prior to our shuttle, so it will be an early morning.
What’s really funny is that my brother Grant and his partner Bob are arriving in Cancun on Saturday at 10:15 a.m. for a week of guy fun at a new resort up the road from where we are. Of course, we didn’t plan it this way, it just worked out that way. I’ll keep my eyes peeled just in case we do see Grant and Bob across the airport terminal.
We’re off to Sarasota, Florida by way of Atlanta where we’ll be staying with our good friend, Deeny. I’ll fill you in on how Christine knows Deeny once we settle in with Deeny in Venice, FL.
Until the next post, thanks for the comments some of you are making. We really appreciate hearing from you.
